El Conquistador Golf & Tennis - Conquistador Course

A really enjoyable course.

Only downside was that I played with a friend - intended two ball.

Unfortunately had no choice in being assigned to two strangers to play with us to create 4-ball.

Couldn’t really see why we couldn’t play two ball because the course was not overly busy.

Other than that, the course was in good condition….greens were really well kept.

Had a nice round at Conquistador. Course is in pretty good winter condition. Greens were great to putt on. Smooth & fast! Lots of undulations on fairways & greens. Plenty of challenge!

Everything was great with the exception of the range. Challenging track with fairly tight holes but not to extreme

This course has several unique holes to keep it interesting. Elevated greens are common so use an extra club or two on your approach. Greens were excellent, fast and rolled true. Fairways were also in good shape. Staff was very friendly. The only knock was one beverage cart for the whole course.

It's a good course. Not really "resort" course quality, more like a muni. No GPS in carts, no water bottles provided. They run tee times on 8 minute intervals so 4.5 hours at minimum.

The layout is target practice. Plenty of doglegs and elevation changes on the course. Both uphill and elevated tee box par 3's. Heavy slopes around greens so you need to hit them. Lots of levels on many greens with some challenging pin locations. Not many holes where having distance helped you. Hole 16 has the best view - elevated tee box par 5 into the mountains. There was a water hazard on 2 holes but it didn't really come into play.

Narrow fairways. Plenty of desert rocks and shrubs that balls roll into. Course is in a residential community so expect barking dogs/music, even had some people who were walking their dogs on the course and watching us. You don't finish hole 9 at the clubhouse, no way to order food at the turn. Drink cart came around 2x.

Starter would shout at everyone on the practice green/range when it was their turn, and there's 2 courses going off every 8 minutes, kind of a weird set-up here. Starter would push people up tee time slots at his discretion, sent a five-some off after us.

Greens were soft and ran fast. Fairways were overseeded and had good roll out. Rough is limited to green areas and only about an inch. Tee boxes were not level on several holes. Pin placement made for a difficult day.
